HttpListener - Socket error from 127.0.0.1 while accessing /servicesNS/-/-/admin/LDAP-groups: Broken pipe error

I am getting "HttpListener - Socket error from 127.0.0.1 while accessing /servicesNS/-/-/admin/LDAP-groups: Broken pipe" error while trying to get the ldap groups using the rest api as below

| rest /servicesNS/-/-/admin/LDAP-groups splunk_server=* | search roles=* | table strategy title roles

Splunk settings are like this
ulimit -n : 65535
ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn: 65535
ulimit -u: 1032358

[httpServer]
maxThreads = 100000
maxSockets = 50000

How to fix this error?

I would get this when trying to map LDAP groups. Try adjusting your limits in the authentication.conf:

[test_directory]
network_timeout = 20
sizelimit = 50
timelimit = 15

For me, I had to reduce sizelimit, I had it at 1000 before.
